Kennedy and Mr. Clinger were in charge of that work, and sublet contracts to individuals for different stage routes. Mr. Hollis worked in five different blacksmith shops in Milford. He took over the one which stood on the drug store corner, when Bill Orvick was sent to the penitentiary for killing Mike Severans. He also worked at Peter Martin's shop, which was back of the Forgie apartment house; the shop that formerly stood in the street in front of Shorty Killam's garage; a shop north of the present library building belonging to Mr. Collins, and the blacksmith shop which stood on the present site of the McCulley house. Mr. Hollis said there were two other cellars besides the A. G. Campbell cellar, on the hill about where the library now stands below the millsite. All were used for storage. The first motion picture theater in Milford was in the Bill Hardy garage building. The place had been used for a saloon, a skating rink, a dance hall and bowling alley. Pat Lonigan was the first manager, Brose Hedges the second, and Clark Kesler the third. Pat Lonigan introduced the first "talking pictures" in Milford. A Mr. Petsle built the Arion Hall and started the second motion picture theater. Two theaters operated in Milford until recent years. Mr. Hollis said he built the first house on the Lewis Townsite. The Lewis Townsite was surveyed by A. B. Lewis, father of Myron Lewis. The line between the Lewis Townsite and the Stoddard Townsite runs north and south, on the street east of the cemetery, and passes the Mrs. Ellen Workman home. Mr. Hollis recalls Arvin Stoddard, his sons Morg and Nat, and also remembers Mr. Squires of Wah Wah Springs. At one time, Mr. Hollis said, a hay yard occupied the present site of the Mountain States Telephone Company office. When five large stacks of hay caught fire, the men formed a bucket brigade, and used wet blankets to extinguish the fire.
